Malema racist for picking on Indians - Yacoob

Yacoob called Malema a racist for targeting Indians while failing to acknowledge there were also African, white and coloured people who display racist tendencies.

Malema, feeling the heat for his outrageous comments at the weekend that the majority of Indians are racist and that they and coloureds “had it easy” under apartheid, had later referred to Justice Yacoob’s statements at a function in Kharwastan in March, and which were reported in POST, in an apparent bid to justify his own comments.

Justice Yacoob had said in his speech that during the era of institutionalised racism, In­dians got a bigger slice of the education and other budgets.
